"I will to make life less bitter for a few within my reach."

-- George Eliot

“Sometimes you have an idea that is so simple that you can't see how it can fail. But in learning, being right is not always the quickest way to success”
“because wherever I satâ€”on the deck of a ship or at a street cafÃ© in Paris or Bangkokâ€”I would be sitting under the same glass bell jar, stewing in my own sour air.”
“And this is the Anarchistic definition of the State: the embodiment of the principle of invasion in an individual, or a band of individuals, assuming to act as representatives or masters of the entire people within a given area.”
“I came seriously close to getting married four times, and each time I backed off in fear or for one reason or another. Each occasion was different, but in hindsight when I look at the people involved, it wasn't a bad thing what I did. I think it may have been more complex had the marriage taken place.”
“I think songwriters are more related to fiction writers. The Odyssey was a story in song. To me, that's so beautiful, all those painted characters, all those travels and adventures.”
“I have an assuredness of myself. I never protect myself against it.”
“Consecrated life means going to the very root of the love of Jesus Christ with an undivided heart and putting nothing ahead of this love.”
“My job is to investigate whether or not a crime is committed, can be proved and should be charged. I'm not going to comment on what to make beyond that. You know, it's not my jurisdiction, not my job, not my judgment.”
